Why Use Frozen Mozzarella Sticks In the Air Fryer?
I’ve been in a frozen food rut lately. I’m not sure if it’s just because summer is coming to an end, or for whatever reason, I haven’t been cooking much from scratch recently.
One of our favorite go-to meals is fried mozzarella sticks – they’re easy enough to make from scratch, but sometimes you want something quick and easy! We were pretty excited when we found out that frozen ones are available at the store (that require no frying!).
There are so many varieties. My favorites are FarmRich, TGIF Fridays, Target, Costco, Great Value (Walmart), 365 by Whole Foods, Kroger Store Brand, and even Trader Joe’s!
What Is A Mozzarella Stick?
